Reconstructing The South Mission : to heal the USA following the end of slavery and the Civil War in 1865.
The ending of slavery was only the beginning of a new chapter in US history. Following the Civil war the USA entered a period known as Reconstruction. This was the
attempt to rebuild the South and a healing of damaged relations. Many difficult problems were created by freeing the slaves and ending an institution that had last-
ed for hundred of years. You should take n the role of one of the 3 groups outlined below and create a solution based on your group’s interested. You could follow
up with a class or group discussion and see if acceptable compromises can be found.

Suggestion
Problem
All over the South
slaves were in a bad
condition. They had no
food, land or tools to
work it.
Where would the newly
freed slaves live?
Slaves were now legally
free but should they
now be treated as
equal citizens?
Southerners were
deeply racist believing
in white supremacy.
How can this be
resolved?

The Jim Crow Laws
Racial Stereotypes
Challenging Jim Crow
Define Reconstruction
Who or what was Jim Crow?
What is a ‘Wet Nurse’
What did ‘separate but equal’
mean?
Race Relations : 1865 –1900
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enforcing racial
segregation in the Southern United States. Enacted after the
Reconstruction period, these laws continued in force until
1965. Wikipedia summary
In 1892 a black train passenger Homer Plessy was arrested and jailed for refusing to sit in a segregated railway car, breaking a Louisiana ( Jim Crow ) law. He appealed claiming this violated his constitutional
rights according to the 14th Amendment. The 1896, U.S. Supreme Court case denied his argument under the “separate but equal” rule. Restrictive legislation based on race continued following the Plessy
decision, its reasoning not overturned until Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954.
History Channel ( Edited )
Jim Crow was not a person but was
named after a popular 19th-century
minstrel song that stereotyped
African Americans, "Jim Crow" came
to symbolise the system of govern-
ment-sanctioned racial oppression
and segregation in the United States.
PBS.org
The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, colour, or previous condition of servitude."
www.local.org
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on in 1868,
granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United
States,” which included former slaves recently freed. In addition, it
forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property,
without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” The 14th Amendment
greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to all Americans .

Uncle Gus made a wrong turn by accident. Somehow we ended up in the middle of town. Up ahead was a crowd of white people. We didn't know what was going on. There must have been 500 people, men and women
and children. We slowed the car. It was then that we heard them shouting, "Kill the nigger." We could see a person on fire but still alive and screaming in the middle of the street tied to a big wheel. We could smell the stench of his burning human flesh. Uncle Gus slammed on his brakes and turned full circle in the middle of the road, which now focused the
attention of the mob on us. I remember hearing someone shout, "There's some more niggers, let's get them." We could see people from our back window running for their cars and trucks. By then my uncle had turned
the corner, as he put the pedal to the metal and we went as fast as his big Chrysler car could go. He turned off the car headlights and we drove for five minutes in darkness before he careened the car off the road into a
four-foot wide wagon ditch or pathway in the woods. We made it just in time. What seemed like a caravan of cars passed our hiding place, fol-
lowed by police cars with sirens blaring. We were all extremely quiet. No one spoke a word in fear that a whisper would be heard and betray our
hiding place. We remained in our hiding place for about four hours, which seemed like eternity.
Joseph Holiday had driven to Texas with his uncle in 1961
Southern states introduced literacy tests as a
requirement for voting. Most black people
could not read or write and even those who
could found that test were not applied fairly.
